Ruling party feeling the pinch? Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry locking horns with NAB by airing his objection to Aleem Khan not being granted bail while other more ‘serious offenders’ have been reprieved, demonstrates how even the PTI is now feeling the pinch of NAB’s heavy handedness and questionable practices. Corruption was the bedrock of the PTI’s electoral campaign and remains the go-to attention diverter eight months into their government. With little to no oversight over its affairs it is no wonder why their methods are increasingly getting more perverse. Perhaps with a few more contentious arrests and bails granted by higher courts, the ruling party sees the real problem in its plans to combat corruption effectively.
